ABOUT OUR FRIENDS:
LA Photo Party
8 months ago, at a party at my house, my friends were begging me to take their photos in my studio. I didn't want to deal with taking pictures of them because I was entertaining so I set my camera up to take a picture every 5 seconds.
It turned out that without me around, my friends were more inclined to be silly, jumping in front of the camera and making funny faces. They gathered around my computer monitor to review their photos as other friends took over the studio.
The next morning I realized what I had stumbled upon and began to figure out how to make the idea portable -- LA Photo Party was born.
